Here In the City - Janis Ian

You don’t see many shadows here in the city

Only picturesque windows, all covered and dirty

Black and grey that once was new

Yesterday that once was you

No I can’t find my shadow in the city

We got canyons of smoke and steel-blue horizons

Our castles explode as the city lays dying

History that once was new

Memories that once were true

No I can’t find my shadow in the city

And oh, for the green green hills of home

For the hills I used to roam

So many years ago

Oh, for the love that’s now grown cold

For the love that’s now grown old

As the hills I used to know

You don’t find many lovers here in the jungle

Only magazine covers designed for the humble

Cold caress that burns and slides

Emptiness that’s hard to hide

Used to be I knew my mind

But I can’t find my shadow in the city

And oh, for the green green hills of home

For the hills I used to roam

So many years ago

Oh, for the love that’s now grown cold

For the love that’s now grown old

As the hills I used to know
